Well as true as that may seem just look at the Ford E4OD transmission? Total junk made by Ford.
That automatic was made for over 10 years and had the highest factory/warranty failures for the whole time it was in production vs. the other automatics made by Ford. The reasons why the E4OD was the worst:
